Since I know you won't bother, here is the 14th Amendment

"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

This means that when you refuse to cite or arrest anyone having a badge or their relatives, but you gladly cite anyone else, you are violating the U.S. Constitution.

Why does it matter that he was black to you so much that you have to mention it? Are you saying no white person was ever arrested for the same?

Classy. Way to turn it into a race issue or for that matter a police preference issue. I said "ANYONE". I even put it in all capital letters so as to emphasize that element of my remark. And yet you still missed it despite my effort. If you would have simply responded that you thought it was appropriate to take someones freedom away for doing 80 on the Watterson then we could have discussed that and debated the merits of both opinions. Did you? Nope. You derailed the entire conjecture into a race/preferential treatment issue.

Perhaps there were some extenuating circumstances regarding the U of L arrest so I won't comment on that particular officers decision. However, personally, I think taking someone to jail for that and that alone is almost always overboard. Do an experiment for me. Get on the Watterson. Go 81 MPH. Just for a second. Does that feel like an act that someone should lose their freedom over? Personally, I think not. Many states in our country agree as it is not permissible to take someone for speed alone.
